Special Event & Special Event Liquor Licenses

Sponsored Events

Everyone who participates in a sponsored event (including the sponsor, the vendor and/or exhibitor) must have a Special Event License from the Town of Prescott Valley. The fee for this license is $15 for the duration of that specific event only up to 30 consecutive days. Any non-profit entity with proof of IRS 501(c)3 Letter of Determination will not be charged a fee but must complete the Special Event Application Form. Vendors and/or exhibitors who already have an annual Business License with the Town are not charged the $15 fee but must complete the Special Event License Application Form.

Please note: Special Event licenses are issued for each specific event and each specific location. A license issued for one event may not be used for another event in Prescott Valley. Special event licenses expire when the special event ends.

Sponsor Responsibility

The sponsor or the sponsoring organization is responsible for providing vendors and/or exhibitors with the necessary forms and collecting the proper fees. The sponsor is also responsible for returning the completed forms to the Town Clerk Department along with the proper fees collected, at least 5 days prior to the special event. The Town Clerk's office will then prepare Special Event licenses for participating vendors and/or exhibitors and will return them to the sponsoring organization for distribution. Each vendor and/or exhibitor must display the Special Event License during the event.
